[ga] What will happen to OnlineNIC?

[George Kirikos <gkirikos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

According to:

http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/2008/12/22/daily39.html

"A federal court in the Northern District of California has awarded
Verizon $33.15 million in a "cybersquatting" case, Verizon reported
Wednesday."

If one checks the Internic database:

http://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-82.html

it appears that the court's jurisdiction is reasonable, given that
OnlineNIC's contact location is given as:

OnlineNIC, Inc.
351 Embarcadero E. Oakland CA 94606
United States

and their own Terms of Service specify California jurisdiction:

OnlineNIC is a top 20 registrar with more than 1 million domains under
management:
